Products

Calerga is well known for Sysquake, its scientific software with
outstanding interactivity capabilities which help understanding
mathematics, physics and engineering and enable the rapid design of
high-performance technical systems; LyME, an application for Palm OS
handheld devices which borrows the math programming language of
Sysquake; and Sysquake Remote, which adds to HTML pages computation
results and graphics created dynamically by evaluating embedded code.

Solutions developed by Calerga share a strong scientific basis
which comes from the experience of its leaders; suitability for the
projects of its customers which results from close collaborations;
and optimal application of new technologies. Calerga software
applications have a common code base, which guarantees their quality
through extensive tests on different hardware and software platforms.

Services

Calerga offers also consulting and engineering in the domains of
dynamical systems and control, understood with a broad meaning:
system modeling, simulation, optimization, control, data processing,
implementation in embedded systems. Here are some examples of
projects it has realized:

in mechanical engineering, control loop optimization for the
disturbance rejection of the laser used on the VLT of the European
Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile to create an artificial
reference star;

in lab equipment, control of devices for the human genome
sequencing;

in medicine, simulation and identification of physiological
models for teaching and validation of new therapies;

in medicine, physiological parameter identification from raw
signals provided by a measurement device currently in development;

in robotics, remote control of humanoid robots;

in embedded systems, control software for food-processing
machines;

in teaching, web interactive tools for computation and
simulation.

Most of these projects require excellent programming expertise.
Among the technologies Calerga has developed, one should mention
numerical computing, programming languages (interpreters and
transcompilers), reading and/or writing files in different formats
(XML, JSON, MAT-file, LaTeX, PDF, Office Open XML (.docx and .xlsx),
OpenDocument (.odt and .ods), VRML/X3D), and Internet-related
protocols (HTTP server, WebDav, websocket, LTI). Main programming
languages include C, C++, C#, Java and JavaScript. Calerga also
relies on third-party solutions when the project allows it. Thanks to
its broad experience, it adjusts quickly to new environments.

Satisfaction of its customers and trust established through
personal contacts permit Calerga to consolidate long-term
relationships.
